MOKOblack

Zesty citrus with abundant gooseberry aromas, a full on citrus zing, all balanced by fantastic texture.

Producer Information

Tá Moko is the bold body art of the Maori people, worn on the face it is a living symbol of identity and origin. Today New Zealand is also identified in the creation of its instantly recognisable style of aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and world class Pinot Noir. The relationship with established growers in the region allows us to capture wines of distinction that reflect Marlborough’s modern heritage and style.

Wine Making

The wine is dominated by 50% Awatere Valley fruit, with Southern Valleys making up much of the rest of the blend. Picking decisions are made entirely on flavour, skin-contact is minimised and cool fermentations with neutral yeast in stainless steel tanks preserve the crisp, fresh varietal nature of the fruit.

Tasting Note

Zesty citrus with white stone fruits. Luscious, abundant gooseberry aromas follow through onto the palate where it explodes with a full on citrus zing that is balanced by fantastic texture. The finish is clean, crisp and refreshing.

Food Matching

The bright, crisp Sauvignon is a perfect match with all sea beasties from delicate freshly caught seafood to rich and meaty barbecued king prawns.
